Burnley built Britain’s industrial might. Today, we begin building Burnley’s green future

After years of quiet reflection and community engagement, the Burnley Green Party is proud to announce our resurgence with renewed energy, fresh leadership, and an unwavering commitment to putting working families first.

Welcome Affan Burki – New Chairperson

We are delighted to announce that (Retired British Army Officer) Affan Burki has been elected as our new Chairperson, bringing a wealth of community experience and a deep understanding of Burnley’s diverse neighbourhoods. Affan’s vision combines respect for our industrial heritage with bold plans for a sustainable, prosperous future that works for everyone.

“Burnley’s strength has always been its people – hardworking, resilient, and innovative. Our job is to ensure that strength is rewarded with decent jobs, affordable homes, and a government that actually listens. We’re not here to manage decline – we’re here to deliver transformation. We want Real jobs, Real wages, Real change for Real people.“ – Affan Burki, Chairperson, Burnley Green Party
